{Fled into the wilderness} (ephugen eis t(886e) er(886d)on).
Second aorist active indicative of pheug(935c). Here, of course, not
Mary, but "the ideal woman" (God's people) of the preceding
verses, who fled under persecution of the dragon. God's people do
not at once share the rapture of Christ, but the dragon is unable
to destroy them completely. The phrases used here seem to be
reminiscent of  De 8:2ff.  (wanderings of Israel in the
wilderness),  1Ki 17:2f.  and  19:3f.  (Elijah's flight), I Macc.
